Check out LUXSTANG's video. You get a good idea of his wheel combination, and he has several posts about his tire/wheel/offset sizes.
I am somewhat of a classic purest. And although I don't like the look of thin rubberband sidewall's, I think Luxstang has the wheel/tire fitment as choice as I have seen with his 18 inchers(?). Lot's of guys here like to mount tall rubber on the 14" or 15" wheels. I have been looking at that for 40 years...time to update.
I am probably going to move up from my 14" to 17" wheels for a couple of reasons:
1. I am pretty sure there is a larger variety of tire mfrs and sizes available 17" wheels than the 14" or 15" especially in regards to tire width(unless you like BFGoodrich).
2. I can't afford the new wheels, let alone the replacement I am going to need for running over that curb in the Walmart parking lot. I get an extra 1/2 with the 17" over the 18".
I also like Luxstang's offset, which determines how well the outer edge of the front and rear wheels match up once they are on the car. In my younger days, we wanted to show off our big fat rear tires and had them stick way out in comparison to the front. These days, I think having the front and rear outside edges match looks much better...especially with big fat tires tight to the springs in the rear.
Have Fun Shopping, and if you have tons of cash to shop with, here are a couple of alternative I am considering...NewGen** on the left, Schott on the right. Notice the lack of lug nuts on the right wheel.
**June 3 update: Apparently there are some issues with NewGen...be careful.
